Kimsufi KS1 - 2TB HDD - How to resize partitions?
Hello.
I am using a Kimsufi KS1 and some days ago, the HDD was replaced with a new one of 2TB (KS1 comes with 500 GB HDD).
With the Kimsufi panel, I can only do partitions on the disk up to the 500 GB space permitted.
How could I use the free space remaining on the disk?
OS: Centos 7
Filesystem: Btrfs
Partitions:

sda 8:0 0 1.8T 0 disk

Use fdisk/cfdisk and create new partitions. Format them, and mount.
Hi @WSS,
I would like to resize the root (sda1) partition.
Thanks.
Boot into the rescue mode and do just that, then.
Any guidance, please?
Thanks.

Obviously, I tried to look for info before create the thread.
I'm looking for more specific info about how to do it from the Kimsufi rescue mode.
The tools are pretty much exactly the same. I'd delete your swap partition, resize it to 1.92TB, then recreate your swap partition.
Ok, so, I'm going to try with:
btrfs filesystem resize +1.5g /sda1My actual problem is this (readed when looking for info):
The commands listed resize only the filesystem, not the partition. That's why they work on a mounted system.I don't know if I could resize the partition when it's mounted or I have to dismount it and do it from rescue mode.
Again., you're probably going to want to delete your swap partition. It starts right at the end of your 500GB partition.
Ops, I didn't think in this...
Yup.
